Isn't it a coincidence that early this week China has blacked out internet connections to facebook, twitter, youtube, etc. I wonder if this has anything to do with it.

I wonder if a flash card would hold out against the water of a flush tank. Shows how photojournalism is determined by technology. Nowadays, the real pros upload sensitive stuff immediately by GPRS. Some cellphone cams are pretty good for news events. China can't really control the internet any more, there are loads of proxies everywhere.
